Never Toss Mushrooms Again! Smart Storage Tips to Keep Them Fresh Longer

Store in a Paper Bag: Unlike plastic, a paper bag allows mushrooms to breathe, keeping them fresh for longer. – 

Avoid Washing Before Storage: Washing mushrooms before storing them adds moisture, leading to quicker spoilage. Clean them just before use.

Keep in the Fridge: Always store mushrooms in the refrigerator to slow down the natural aging process.– 

Use the Original Packaging: If you purchase mushrooms in a vented container, keep them in the same packaging to allow airflow.

Don’t Store with Strong-Smelling Foods: Mushrooms can absorb odors, so avoid storing them near foods with strong smells.

Use a Crisper Drawer: Store mushrooms in the crisper drawer of the fridge to maintain the right humidity level.

1. Freeze for Later: If you have excess mushrooms, slice and freeze them to extend their shelf life for up to 6 months.
